The VMS servers record video and audio from multiple cameras and audio channels and write the data to a storage device.
You can access a VMS Server locally or over a network using the System Manager and Spotter programs and monitor server functionality through the Spotter Diagnostics plugin.
A server is a computer with storage, the Windows operating system, and the installed VMS software with required drivers.
Several devices can be connected to a VMS Server:
-
PTZ (dome) cameras and keyboards
-
External devices, such as sensors, to the digital inputs
-
External devices, such as doors, lights, and gates, connected to digital outputs
-
Special integrated devices like radar, IoT device or 3rd party system
-
Storage or backup unit (NAS, SAN, or RAID, for example)
